The purpose of tracking numbers.. (Sun)
Posted by jericho
Early in 2006, I posted about HP using multiple identifiers for the same vulnerability. Recently, Sun Microsystems has done a little overhaul to their advisory pages and I noticed that they too now use entirely too many tracking numbers.
For example, this Sun advisory has the following:
- Document ID: 200582
- Old Document ID: (formerly 103143)
- Bug ID: 6497289
- SA Document Body: PPGNRLA Internal ID use only.
Why is one tracking number so difficult?
